Threat identification is the last and most important aspect of risk assessment.
The Five Old Stars will not allow the whitewashed Pirate Kings to possess anything that threatens their rule. From money to weapons, from personnel to devil fruits, everything that can be labeled as a "threat" must be handed over. If it cannot be handed in, it must be destroyed on the spot, which is also the last hurdle that has blocked countless pirate kings.
For example, Dressrosa's underground dark harbor, as a famous arms trading market, is definitely not allowed to exist.
For Dressrosa to be as prosperous and rich as it is today, the arms trade accounts for at least about 30% of the country's total revenue. Being shut down and turned over is equivalent to cutting off Doflamingo's arm!
Faced with such astonishing wealth, not every pirate has Doflamingo's level of magnanimity and will end it at the drop of a hat!
More pirate kings will only hold on to their own lives and refuse to let go, deceiving, bribing, threatening, and doing everything they can to keep them.
Some of them succeeded, but more were ruthlessly massacred by the navy.
after all…
Likewise, not every navy is willing to agree that pirates have been exonerated and have become good soldiers who obey orders without taking the initiative to find trouble.
The special nature of the flamingo naturally excludes him from this list...
"! Ah, no problem!"
Meeting Ron's thoughtful gaze, Doflamingo's fingers twitched subconsciously, with an evil smile on his face: "If the Navy wants those things, I'll leave them to you!"
…
When the risk assessment was started in King's Heights, the dark harbor underground in Dressrosa that should have been closed was now filled with Don Quixote family cadres.
BLU BRU BRU… BRU BRU BRU…
"Lord Torebol, I still can't contact Monet..."
In a brightly lit room, apart from a few members of the Heart Army, Gladius, the only cadre of the Don Quixote family who looked like a normal person, put down the phone bug and rushed to the opposite side, all wet and looking like a normal person. The scruffy uncle who looked like a slug shook his head.
"ok, I get it… "
Torebol looked solemn and glanced at the little girl next to him with a dull expression.
"elder sister… "
There were tears in Sugar's eyes and she murmured softly.
Snow Snow Fruit is almost the last natural fruit in terms of lethality, and its weaknesses are very obvious. Not only are they afraid of high temperatures, but even sunlight can melt them. Frozen fruits, also of the natural type, can even harm the esper's body, because they are superior and inferior attribute restraints.
The Navy's plasma cannon is extremely hot, which just restrains Monet's fruit ability.
Lost contact after being targeted, probably... No need to think too much.
But now is not the time to comfort her. Plana was completely disrupted by the navy at the beginning, and they need to execute planb immediately.
"Delinger, Rao, baby5, prepare the bomb. Delinger and Rao are responsible for protecting baby5, do you understand?!"
"learn!"
"Leave it to me!"
"Huh? Am I needed?!"
Baby5, who was dressed in a maid outfit, held her face shyly. This woman with a mental problem would agree without any thought when someone made a request.
Torrebol replied seriously.
"That's right, whether you can kill Ron then or not depends entirely on you, baby5!"
"Yoshi! Leave it to me!"
This is not a need, but a higher level of dependence!
baby5’s fighting spirit is high!
"After taking action, Pika and Diamanti will cover the young master's escape. The rest... including me, must try to buy time for the young master! Even if they sacrifice their lives!"
Torebol said his farewell words, slammed the cane with the plum blossom symbol, and warned everyone coldly.
"Whoever dares to slip up at the critical moment, I swear, I will turn into a ghost and chase him to the end of the world!"
"For the young master!"
Everyone's expressions froze and they shouted in low voices.
"For the young master..."
…
King's Heights, Palace Conference Room.
"That's pretty much it. Take me to see it on the spot."
Ron handed the compiled documents to Dongte and asked him to return to the Kirin immediately to transfer the documents back, and then said to Doflamingo.
"If the numbers don't match up, you know what will happen."
Not only does the black market need to be closed, but manufactured arms must also be turned over.
"! Of course that won't happen! I am quite sincere about cooperating with the Navy."
After saying that, Doflamingo stood up with a sneer and took the feather coat offered by Diamanti.
Only then did Ron realize that Doflamingo, who used to look like a hooligan, was actually dressed in a suit and leather shoes. Not only was he not showing off his chest and back, but even his usually sexy pink feather coat had changed from the fluffy hedgehog shell squeezed around his body. It has become a slim and long style with the hem just reaching the bend of the knee.
Is this... changing the look
Ron thought doubtfully.
It seems that every time the protagonist changes his appearance in Japanese comics, his strength is completely changed.
Could this be Doflamingo's back-up plan
Has he become stronger
He is not the protagonist!
…
"drive!!"
A carriage with hollow gold wire came from the direction of King's Heights, and residents on both sides of the street gave their warmest cheers.
"Lord Doflamingo!"
"Long live His Majesty the King!"
The enthusiasm of the people showed that, at least on the surface, Doflamingo was a qualified king. He smiled at the residents and said to Ron with emotion.
"Eight hundred years ago, Dressrosa was the territory of our Don Quixote family. It wasn't until the World Government was established and we moved to Marigioa that King Riku's lineage took over the rule."
"Are you telling me... your legitimacy as a king?"
Ron didn't even look up, his elbows resting on the sofa.
"No, I want to tell you that I love this country more than King Riku."
Ron, who was observing the whole city with a domineering look, turned his head in surprise, as if he had met him for the first time.
"like?"
"It's such an eye-opener for me to have that word come out of your mouth."
Doflamingo has many words that can describe him, he is unruly, cruel, arrogant and indifferent, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, he has the temperament of a king, etc.
But no matter what Ron thought about, the word "love" had nothing to do with it.
Ron believed Doflamingo had joy, anger, sorrow, but "love", he didn't see it at all. Perhaps there had been, but when Corazon died, all that was left was a shell with a hollow heart and a name for evil.
"! Really? It's quite surprising..."
Doflamingo smiled lightly and looked into the distance: "I love this land deeply."
"Then...since you love it so much, let's talk about it."
Suddenly, Ron's tone changed and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"How much are you willing to pay to protect the safety of Sugar?"
hiss! !
"you… "
Doflamingo's eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked at Ron in shock.
"Don't worry, killing her will lead to chaos in the country. I won't do that for the time being."
"But if the marshal finds out about this, I must kill her."
"Tell me Doflamingo, how deep is your love for this land!"
"In Baileys..."
